HAL STOWERS & The Art of LIFE BLENDING

Dew
On The
Kudzu

From Idgie:

"It's a thing of beauty. A heavy, oversized, full color coffee table book that shows everything from actual sunsets in the Florida Keys to Hal's re-creation of it on canvas. Photos of sculptures that capture nature in all it's beauty. There are passages and photos explaining the importance of preserving what we have and helping to foster growth before it's too late. There are sections just explaining how to achieve a "Life Blending" of your own - which I take to heart as learning to work and play in a good balanced way, or find a way to incorporate them together, as Hal has done with his art and nature conservancy efforts.

A beautiful addition to your home and it might just inspire you to join in an environmental effort or two!"

"…it is much more than just a coffee table book to be admired. You will want to read, re-read and even study it…

"…within its pages, these two talented individuals openly and freely expose, discuss and share their inner emotions in an intimate manner most of us would never consider doing. Through their journey, there is a lesson for all of us…"

"…B.J. and Hal Stowers celebrate life daily. Their artistic creativity demands it…

"Hal Stowers' environmental art can be found all along the Suncoast and throughout the world…

"Nurturing each other's creativity has developed in them an awareness of the experiences by which one may best enhance those seeming intangibles called creative juices…

"Their investment in finding the elements that have fed their creative selves has paid off in a grander art project than B.J. and Hal had known existed: a book…

"…For more than three years, she brought together all they had experienced, and all they knew of living life to its fullest. Through all their shared years, B.J. has photographed Hal at work, at play, at rest and within the environment from which they both drew so much solace, inspiration and meaning.

She also took from their lives that which they had spoken of, and hoped for, and indulged in and created. Her goal was to show, through biography and example, how she and Hal developed what they call Life Blending, a term they co-authored in the 1970s.

B.J. said: "People have asked us the same questions for 30 years, over and over. 'How do you keep the creative juices flowing?' We decided to answer those questions."

“The Art of Life Blending, her magnum opus, combines design, art, prose, poetry and the living image. It incorporates those life-enhancing experiences with the basic ingredients of one’s life to sustain creative flow…

"B.J. and Hal use each other to enhance their senses, their imaginations and–if you will–spirits, as a base for the needed mental energy to create…

B.J. and Hal attribute their success to keeping themselves steeped within these warm waters of philosophical attitudes made manifest as mental and physical actions…"

"Hal Stowers of Palm Harbor, Florida, and his wife, B.J. are experts in creative expression … "Their book is an answer to the question they have been asked repeatedly: How do you keep the creative juices flowing?… "Hal's environmental art – he has a Master's degree in Landscape Architecture from U.C. Berkeley – can be found all over the world…"We try to blend elements of our life – the way Hal blends colors in his paintings – to create the most beautiful, rich and balanced blend at that time, knowing that change is always a factor," B.J. writes.
